Is Zetl the Answer to Startup and SME Financing?

The world of business runs on credit.

Whether it’s freelance photographer or a big manufacturer, odds are cash doesn’t land in the bank immediately after making a sale, no you’ve probably offered your customer some credit terms. This can sometimes lead to cash flow issues if you’ve got your own bills to pay.

In response to this, a variety of working capital financing solutions have come about, and one of the newer ones is Zetl - Asia-Pacific’s first financing company for asset-light businesses.

Zetl is headquartered in Hong Kong and was one of 5 companies identified and qualified for support by the Malaysian Research Accelerator for Technology and Innovation (MRANTI) under its MyStartupHub programme.
